Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Ahem. I'm just doing normal maintenance."

With a stiff expression, Uchiha Gin withdrew his hand from Zuo Ling's scorching hot reactor, coughed twice, and explained in a serious tone,
"Maintenance? What kind of maintenance requires removing the power furnace protective cover?"

Sister Wang raised an eyebrow and exposed the rather clumsy lie. Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin quickly clarified.

"I haven't even taken it down yet!"

"Oh? So you mean you're really going to remove the protective shield from Ye Ye's power furnace?"

A detachable furnace shield, also known as a bra.

"I didn't intend to demolish it!"

Stared at by three pairs of inhuman eyes, Uchiha Gin was immediately at his wit's end. Looking at Zuo Ling, who was covered in sticky engine oil, he couldn't help but complain out loud.
"And what's with 'Ye Ye'? Isn't her name Zuo Ling?"

“They are my subordinates now, and I can call them whatever I want.”

A haughty look appeared on Wang Liang's cold and frosty face. Zuo Ling and You Ling, who were also in the Shadow Realm, had already submitted to her. As a noble member of the Otsutsuki clan, how could she lack servants to serve her tea and water?
"Wait, if Zuo Ling is called Ye Ye (Night Night), then you must be called Ri Ri (Day Day), right?"

Day and Night, this name is really terrible!
"Wrong answer. My name is Orianna now."

"what?"

Looking at Youling, who was correcting his mistaken guess with a blank expression, Uchiha Gin opened his mouth, then stared blankly for a long time without uttering a single word. In the end, he gave up because there were too many things to criticize.
What kind of weird names are these?

"You have a problem with the name I chose?"

No~ No~

Faced with the narrowed eyes and dangerous aura emanating from Wang Liang, how could Uchiha Gin dare utter a single word of dissent?
"Open your mouth, hold it in, and don't spill it this time."

He nodded as he stood in front of Zuo Ling, who had changed her name to Ye Ye, and stuffed the mouth of a newly opened bottle of engine oil into her slightly open mouth. Her fair cheeks swelled up from the sticky oil.

"Glug~ Glug~"

As a large bottle of engine oil emptied, a faint glimmer of light gradually appeared in Ye Ye's empty eyes.

"Hiccup~"

"Phew, all done!"

Shaking the empty oil bottle, Uchiha Gin finally breathed a sigh of relief, having completed the oil-filling task. His gaze then fell on Yurei beside Wan'er.

"That... what was it again?"

“Oriana”.

"It doesn't matter, did you drain the waste oil completely?"

Whether you're Aurelion or Orianna, Uchiha Gin just wants to finish the maintenance on these two traitorous puppets as soon as possible, and then go out to pack his luggage for the trip.

"Do you want me to check it?"

Yu Ling, now renamed Oriana, tilted her head expressionlessly, her slender hands gripping the hem of her kimono dress, and began to slowly lift it.
"stop!"

As the gradually exposed, fair, simulated skin became indistinguishable from human skin, Uchiha Gin noticed a trickle of viscous black liquid dripping from between his legs and quickly spoke up to stop it.
"I believe you've cleared it all out!"

The external structure of his two puppets is basically the same as that of a human body, with all the necessary holes, but their functions are slightly different. The upper hole is used to fill with engine oil, while the lower hole is used to drain waste engine oil.

Rejected, Orianna expressionlessly lowered her skirt. Uchiha Gin seized the opportunity and used the same trick again, quickly swallowing a large bottle of engine oil into her stomach.
"Hiccup~"

"It's done!"

Seeing the two puppets licking their lips, looking like they hadn't had enough, Uchiha Gin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I can go out and pack my luggage."

This maintenance work is getting increasingly difficult. The old Zuo Ling and You Ling didn't exhibit so many human-like behaviors, but ever since Wang Liang evolved, these two puppets have not only escaped his control but have also become more and more like humans with abnormal minds.
Uchiha Gin couldn't help but suspect that Wan'ryo had secretly awakened a new ability similar to subjugating familiars, and that his loyal companions, Sarei and Urei, had been taken away by this ability.

"Human, candy."

After finishing his grooming, Uchiha Gin was about to run away when he was stopped by Wano, who had been waiting nearby. Looking at Wano's outstretched, dark hand, he scratched his head helplessly.

"Your older cousins ​​only sent this much back, so eat it sparingly."

He took out a small candy jar from his backpack, which contained about a dozen irregularly shaped candies of various colors, each exuding an intoxicating aroma.

"Bring it to you!"

Before Uchiha Gin could finish speaking, Wanryu slightly curled his fingers, and the candy jar slipped from his hand, landing directly in the other's dark hand.

"This is."

Looking at his empty hands, Uchiha Gin frowned with a strange expression.

This move looks so much like the Universal Pull.
On the other side, Wang Liang eagerly swallowed more than a dozen candies, feeling the various elemental Tailed Beast chakra surging within her stomach. A barely perceptible blush flashed across her dark, pretty face.

"Five ants~ Five ants~"

In Kaguya's eyes, the violent tailed beast chakra was the best supplement to help her restore her power. The mixed energy was purified and compressed within her body, eventually transforming into pure Yin-Yang power.
"More next time!"

After digesting it, Wangliang casually tossed the empty can back, her white eyes filled with relief as she looked at Uchiha Gin.
As expected of my chosen new partner, you are very efficient.

"Wait a minute, sigh. You didn't even leave me two for research."

Catching the empty bottle tossed to him by Wang Liang, Uchiha Gin gave a helpless smirk, but a thoughtful look appeared in his otherwise listless eyes.

The aura that Wang Liang inadvertently released after swallowing the chakra pill was Yin-Yang Release, wasn't it?

"Humph~"

Knowing she couldn't find anything of value on Uchiha Gin, Kaguya, having amassed a bountiful harvest, waved her hand, and her two puppet henchmen, Yaya and Orianna, immediately followed.
Before leaving, they didn't forget to ask Uchiha Gin for his next treatment.
"Our fuel system seems a bit clogged. Please remember to unclog it during the next maintenance."

"."

Uchiha Gin stared at the three departing figures with a black line on his forehead. He wasn't a professional mechanic, so what was he doing unclogging the oil lines?
However, based on the aura that Uchiha Gin unintentionally emitted when Wang Liang absorbed the chakra pill, she was almost certain that the changes in the two puppets were definitely related to her.

"Yin-Yang Escape, huh?"

As is well known, the combination of Yin-Yang Release's properties can create all things and imbue them with life; even soulless inanimate objects can acquire emotions similar to those of humans.

"It seems that my understanding of Wangliang is less than one percent complete."

As a gift from Uchiha Yao before his death, Uchiha Gin had not actually consciously trained in the eye technique "Wang Liang".

My understanding of her was limited to the Shadow Realm that accompanied her eye technique and her ability to transform into the Primal Rider. Later, due to the awakening of Mikoto's self-awareness, Gin Uchiha felt even more embarrassed to subject a dark-skinned mature woman to inhumane training, and could only let her grow wildly.
Now, under his current "free-range" and "feeding" approach, Wang Liang's abilities seem to have made a breakthrough, even awakening such a bug-like ability as Yin-Yang Release.
Uchiha Gin was curious about what heights Wang Liang would eventually reach if he continued to indulge her growth, and whether she could possibly become a second Ancestor.
Under the influence of the Shadow Realm debuff, Uchiha Gin's thoughts wandered freely, even conjuring up images of a battle between Mikoto and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Tsk, I almost fell into the trap here again."

Fortunately, he realized the subtle influence of the Shadow Realm on him, shook his head to give up thinking, and turned to step out of the alternate dimension with a tone like a negative.

"Phew, I feel much better now."

Back in the real world, Uchiha Gin, who had just plopped down on his bed, instantly regained his senses. He let out a long sigh of relief, his usually deadpan eyes filled with lingering fear.
"Ah Yin, are your things ready?"

Just then, Uchiha Hikaru pushed open the bedroom door and looked at Uchiha Gin sitting on the bed in a state of sage mode. His delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Are you sneaking around at the gym again?"

"Huh? Don't talk nonsense, I'm just thinking about some things."

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes. With someone as fierce as you around, how could he dare to waste a single drop?
"Hurry up, it's almost time to leave."

"Okay, okay~ I'll be quick."

With a lazy wave of his hand, Uchiha Gin turned around, grabbed a few changes of clothes, and haphazardly stuffed them into his small mission backpack.

"See, it's all ready now."

"We're going abroad on this trip, and you've only brought this much?"

Under Hikaru Uchiha's questioning gaze, Gin Uchiha shrugged with a relaxed expression.

"That's enough. It's not like we can't buy things in the Land of Rain."

That's right, Uchiha Gin is going on a long trip.
Destination: The Land of Rain

Travel companions: Xiao Guang and Xiao Zhili.

"Kid, are you really not coming with us?"

After tidying everything up, just before leaving, Uchiha Gin asked Senju Itama, who was dressed in his pajamas, one last time.

"There's still time to pack your bags."

He found it strange that Senju Itama, who always loved to join in the fun, would refuse his invitation to travel abroad.
"Hurry up and leave, let me relax at home by myself."

Senju Itama, contrary to his usual behavior, waved his hand at Uchiha Gin.
"really weird."

Blinking in confusion and scratching his head, Uchiha Gin led Uchiha Hikari away to the agreed meeting point.

"Oh, I really want to go too!"

After the two left, Senju Itama's previously nonchalant expression immediately fell.
She really wanted to go, but unfortunately, she already had a date with Senju Hisama, so she had to reluctantly decline Uchiha Gin's invitation.
"Anyway, it's just a mission to treat patients, I should be back soon, right?"

Filled with envy, she could only console herself in this way.

Under the big locust tree in the east of the village,
Having changed into his ninja attire, Uchiha Rinpoche leaned against a tree, staring at the dappled shadows on the ground, his dark eyes filled with helplessness.

"Mr. Gin is late as usual~"

Ten minutes have passed since the agreed time, and she, the one who arrived half an hour early, is still the only one at the meeting point.

However, Uchiha Gin wasn't angry about his lateness; instead, his cold and beautiful face wore an expectant smile.
She remembered that the last time she went on a mission with Uchiha Gin was several years ago. If she hadn't received this mission call, she would have thought that her teacher had completely forgotten about her.
"Hey~ Little Manager, you're as punctual as ever~"

Suddenly, a figure blocked the swaying shadows of the trees, and as a familiar, languid voice reached his ears, Uchiha Rinpoche's smile vanished, replaced by his usual coldness.
"Mr. Yin, Senior Guang."

"Long time no see, Xiao Zhili."

Uchiha Hikaru greeted Uchiha Osamu with a smile, then immediately kicked the culprit who had made him late.
"Hiss, it's getting late, let's go!"

Uchiha Gin rubbed his injured calf, gasped, and stood up. He waved his hand towards the Konoha gates, signaling the three of them to set off.
At the main gate, the diligent Konoha Police Force still stood guard, with two serious-looking Uchiha clansmen on either side, carefully checking everyone entering and leaving.

Soon, it was the turn of Uchiha Gin and his two companions to undergo the examination.
"Please show your identification. Uh... Please proceed!"

But before they could produce their travel permits, the villager in charge of the inspection paused, then turned his outstretched hand into the standard welcoming and farewell gesture of a doorman, and respectfully saw the three out of the village.

"Aren't you really going to check it? What if the three of us decide to defect?"

Uchiha Gin looked at his respectful clansmen with amusement, his eyes full of mockery.

"Really!? That's great!"

The clansmen guarding the gate were overjoyed upon hearing this. If it were anyone else who had defected, the Konoha Police Force would pursue and punish them no matter how far they fled.
But if Uchiha Gin were to defect, they would go bankrupt to raise a large sum of money for his travel expenses.

"Hehe, just kidding."

"."

Defection is impossible; I would never defect in my lifetime. Compared to the high-risk profession of rogue ninja, being a Konoha genin is much more stable.

As Konoha behind them grew increasingly blurry, among the trio speeding through the forest, Uchiha Hikaru, his face brimming with anticipation, was the first to initiate a conversation.
"Gin, what's our mission this time? To destroy Amegakure?"

The only missions that qualify her to take action are probably those involving the destruction of villages and the annihilation of countries, classified as Super S-level missions.

Upon hearing her question, Uchiha Osamu, who was standing to the side, also revealed a rare fighting spirit. It was clear that she had been holding back for the past few years and wanted to show off her skills.
"Uh, didn't you see the power of attorney I put on the table?"

Turning to look at the two people whose eyes were blazing with fighting spirit, Uchiha Gin scratched his head and replied hesitantly.

"Although it's a very important mission, it's not that high-level."

Unlike Senju Itama, who flipped through the mission request forms on the table, Uchiha Hikaru shook his head and continued to guess.
"Are you here to capture vicious criminals? How strong are you? Can I stretch my muscles a bit?"

"Lower."

"Assassination? I can't do that, it's too much trouble."

"A little lower than this."

"Still low?"

Seeing the conflicted look on Uchiha Gin's face, Uchiha Hikaru and Uchiha Osamu frowned slightly. It was a mission of a lower level than an assassination mission. Wasn't it supposed to be an important mission when they were summoned?
"Ah Yin, tell me the truth, what exactly is the mission?"

Faced with the intense gazes of the two, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to reveal the important mission of this trip.

"Brother Zhou Xuan's great-grandson, who is just one year old, is seriously ill. Unfortunately, the medical conditions in the Rain Kingdom are limited, so he specifically entrusted me to go and treat him." (End of this chapter)
